The entire team was already in the clubhouse. All you could hear was the crack of the bat, and then, about three seconds later, the thud of the ball landing safely in the mitt. After arriving at the park between 6:30 and 7:00 am, having meetings until 9:30, doing drills for two hours, and then throwing batting practice, Angels coach Ron Roenicke and his son, Lance, were the last two out on the ...

Back from vacation, I am ready to start my stretch drive on the Milwaukee Brewers. Lets face it, at 59-65 / 13GB of Cincinnati the Brewers are all but done this season. However, for a franchise looking towards next year September is a very important month for the future. MLB rosters are expand and the organisation can evaluate top and upcoming prospects. As for the veterans, its a last kick at...

I would like to start off by introducing myself. My name is Mathieu Laurin, I just recently join PSB, hence, this being my first ever post. I will be conducting blogs on the Milwaukee Brewers & F1 Racing. Hope you enjoy as much as I will be creating.
Milwaukee Brewers – Can They Do It, Or Is it Just a Dream?
The Brewers have been competitive in recent seasons, even making the playoffs...

For better or worse, after Alcides Escobar got even a snippet of exposure with the big club at the tail end of the season, J.J. Hardy's days as the Brewers starting shortstop were numbered; not surprisingly, the Brewers dealt him in a 1-for-1 swap for CF Carlos Gomez to address another need. To their credit, they likely reaped solid value for Hardy in a position where they could've been bent ov...

You might be asking yourself, Chris Who? That's right, I'm talking about 28 year-old lefty Chris Narveson, who got into 47 innings last season with the big club. While names like Jeff Suppan, Manny Parra and David Bush attract most of the attention in the race for the final two rotation spots, largely due to financial commitments, track record or pure longevity, Narveson may very well be the be...

Perhaps the most important series remaining on the Brewers' schedule begins Monday between two in-state rivals.
Huh?
The Brewers' Triple-A affiliate, the Nashville Sounds, hosts St. Louis farm team Memphis in a four-game series with the first-place Redbirds holding a 1½-game lead (entering Sunday) over the Sounds and Iowa Cubs in the Pacific Coast League's American Nor...

The Brewers finally made a big move, but it had nothing to do with trading for a starting pitcher.
Wednesday's flurry of action that saw shortstop J.J. Hardy sent down to Triple-A Nashville, pitching coach Bill Castro fired and the versatile Bill Hall cut was just the latest in a series of bold steps general manager Doug Melvin has taken. The new guys are prized shortstop prospect Alcide...

Prince Fielder was booed when he stepped into the batter's box at Dodge Stadium on Wednesday, a night after he scurried through the labrynth that took him from the Brewers' clubhouse to the Dodgers'.
I have no problem with the booing. It is every fan's right to be vocal. What I do have a problem with is suddenly, Guillermo Mota is the victim in this whole episode that saw ...

While the NL Central standings show the Brewers are still within striking distance with a little more than two months left in the season, they may not be as close as the win-loss totals indicate.
Unless something unexpectedly dramatic happens before the trade deadline — like the acquisition of Roy Halladay or some other top starter — the Crew is toast for this year.
Their offens...

Independence Day marked the halfway point of the season for the Brew Crew.
So, what have we learned about a team tied for the NL Central lead?
It has become painfully obvious in recent weeks that the Brewers need help in the starting rotation. But C.C. Sabathia isn't walking through the clubhouse doors this year and there doesn't appear to be an equivalent on the market, thanks to...

Baseball's compensation system for losing free agents is a pretty fair deal. It forces some teams to choose between keeping a first-round pick or signing a free agent. If it is a definite star free agent, then it is a no-brainer. But if it is someone borderline who would cost you that pick, it becomes trickier.
At the same time, draft picks cannot be traded, so you don't have a team...

Buried in the abyss that was the three-game sweep the Brewers suffered at the hands of the Twins in their final visit to the plastic bubble was a historic event that won't receive much attention.
Mike Cameron, known for his Gold Glove defense and some pop with his bat, become the 20th member of the 250-250 club when he cracked his 250th homer Sunday. Cameron will go down in baseball hist...
